SMS Cross Country

The SMS Cross Country team has been hard at work trying to become champions! On October 14, at their last home meet of the season, both Nick Sinofsky and Jared Sharp shattered the existing course record with times of 11:01 and 11:11, respectively. The girls and boys both claimed a victory in their most recent meet against Avon at Fisher Meadows, and they traveled to Stafford on October 26th for their last meet of the regular season. The girls remain undefeated and the boys have only suffered one loss to rival Tolland. Karissa Stanio, Eiren Klesczewski, Emily Brydges, Alyssa McLaughlin, and Emma Keane remain the top five runners for girls. Nick Sinofsky, Jared Sharp, and Charles Brydges are still on top for the boys, with Ethan Lambert, Brandon Lewis, Nate Davidson, and Braden Sunshine battling it out for the next few spots each race. The top 27 boys and top 27 girls will head to Wickham Park on November 7 for the 2015 XC State Championships. Until then, all runners will be training hard, because “the wishbone will never replace the backbone”, and champions never quit!

National Epilepsy Awareness Month

November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month.

Did you know that one in every 26 people will develop epilepsy in our lifetime? Nearly 3 million Americans currently live with epilepsy, making it the fourth most common neurological condition in the United States, more prevalent than cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and autism combined. In an effort to show how our school community can show how we embrace the goal of not letting any barriers stop people with epilepsy from reaching their fullest potential, we will be tying purple ribbons around poles and trees on school property this month to show our support to those community members with epilepsy.

Additionally, we suggest that all of our students, faculty, and staff wear purple on Friday, November 6th to raise awareness and show our support relative to this condition.

Hat Day

On Friday Oct. 23rd, the Giraffe Club sponsored a Hat Day. For one dollar, students and staff could wear their craziest, most colorful, fun hat to school, or simply wear a baseball cap. This event raised $188.00! This money will be utilized to sponsor a family in need in Suffield this holiday season.

There is another Hat Day scheduled for Friday, November 20th.

Scale Model of Solar System


Cindy Davis' eighth grade science classes created scale models of the solar system, then went outside to experience the comparative sizes and distances of the planets.
